Baptized By Fire is the new single by Spinnerette taken from the self-titled album.
It’s a personal favourite of mine, for obvious reason. I know, I know.
Anyway, I usually listen to this a few times whilst I walk to town every day (takes an hour…oooo get me!) It’s just a wonderful song, and the video is pretty damn good.
Enjoy!
A few months ago, my ex dumped me. Like anyone else, I wallowed in self pity for a bit. I didn’t like that. Luckily, I have an amazing set of friends who I love to pieces.
One night, a group of us went to see La Roux live. This gig made me happy, like stupidly happy. Why? Because I was hearing songs that just poured out how I feel. Now, I’m not going to make review (if you can call it that) about me and my ex- who needs to hear that! NOBODY!
Bascially, if you’re being messed around by someone or you just feel a bit useless- then lyrically, this album will be like a comfort blanket for you. If you want some amazing tracks to get you through the summer- then this album is again, for you.
I’ve heard that I’m Not Your Toy is the next single, which I am excited about. It’s always been a favourite of mine. I love Cover My Eyes, quite possibly the saddest song I’ve heard in a long time. The London Gosepl Choir appear on it, which just makes it even more beautiful.
I cannot say what the best tracks are, I can only tell you that this album is an excellent debut and is easily EASILY one of the best albums of this year.
I cannot find any fault in it, it’s just a perfect piece of music that I know in 10..20..years time I will be still palying loudly and singing along. I love it.
10/10….EASILY!
You know what review you will be getting next week 😉

It’s not the full set (they cut out Hurricane Drunk..BOOO TO THE BCC!) but the bit before the last song they play (if you’ve seen Flo live before you’ll know what it is!) is amazing, the crowd are just brilliant!
She played the John Peel Stage, and I reckon if he was still here- he’d be in love with her too!
Enjoy!
Florence And The Machine. John Peel Stage. Saturday 27th June 2009.
In case you missed Florence’s beautiful performance on Jonathan Ross last night, here it is :
Florence And The Machine- Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)-Jonathan Ross June 26th 2009.
Oh, and I couldn’t decide if you buy the signed copy of her album or the one with bonus tracks…..SO I BOUGHT BOTH! I am broke! 🙂
They’re also playing Glastonbury today 🙂

This is going to be in captials so you ALL remember……………..
FLORENCE IS GOING TO BE ON JONATHAN ROSS TONIGHT ON BBC1.
Probably at the end? Singing Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) I think? She could sing the phonebook and I’d still think it was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. No doubt I’ll probably cry. I’m making my mum and stepdad watch it! Hurrah!
I counted, this is my 15th entry about Florence! Shall I just make a blog purely about her? That’d be too much.
ANYWAY.
I hate Radio 1, and I dislike Jo Whiley….but I managed to sit through hearing her voice to hear Florence on the Live Lounge. The last 5 minutes will make you cry. I don’t care if you claim to never cry-this will break your heart and you will cry. Why will you cry? Because it is heartbreakingly beautiful. Her cover of Halo is better than the orignal. I hope she plays this in September!
Florence And The Machine-Live Lounge. June 24th 2009.
I have no idea how many times I’ve listened to this!

Yes, this is yet another entry about the most beautiful and talented person in the world….Florence Welch.
I swear no singer has ever meant this much to me. Florence, if you see this- I FRIGGIN’ LOVE YOU!
Right, obsessive fan out of the way…have some clips which I found on YouChoob!
Hurricane Drunk(Live) – That’s for someone.
Hurricane Drunk and Are You Hurting The One You Love? are my favourites off the album so far. No, I’ve not heard the album, I’ve heard it live. And these are the two tracks which just make me want to cry, smile and make my heart beat faster. Is it like being in love? Oh, I suppose so. I am in love with her music..it’s just so mind-blowing and orignal and perfect.
Just because her album comes out in 2 weeks doesn’t mean I’m going to shut up about her!
Tickets for her UK September tour go on sale tomorrow (see you in Brum…I’ve got beef with the Academy moving venues though!)

How amazing is this!
I reckon the album will be close to perfection 😉
There’s finally a video to Heavy Cross! Hurrah!
The album is out Monday. It’s been 3 or 4 years since Standing In The Way Of Control came out, and I’m pretty sure that Music For Men will be just as perfect!
Best band (bar La Roux) on the NME tour. Are they signed yet? SOMEONE SIGN THEM.
They are one of the best live bands I have ever seen. The enegry is just astounding. And they’re lovely guys too 🙂
So, enjoy the video to Kids. And if you love it, vote for it on the MTV2 MySpace Chart!
Beat In My Bones.
